A VASP Compliance Mandate refers to the regulatory requirement for Virtual Asset Service Providers to adhere to specific rules and guidelines. These mandates typically involve anti-money laundering, combating the financing of terrorism, and Know Your Customer obligations. They aim to integrate crypto businesses into the existing financial regulatory framework, mitigating risks associated with illicit activities. Compliance is essential for VASPs to operate legally and maintain trust within the financial ecosystem.
